Wow, absolutely marvelous!

Kaper had two tunes that made it big. There must be a lengthy list of song writers who had only one tune that made it into the Great American Songbook????

It was this past Sunday night. The Michael Weiss Trio did one night at the Century Club here in Tucson. Michael was joined by a local rhythm section of Scott Black on bass, and Arthur Vint on drums. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Weiss in person. He played with great taste and swung like mad. The only other times I have seen Michael Weiss live was 1987 in Rochester,NY with Johnny Griffin, and in 1996 in Vail, Colorado also with Griffin. I spoke a bit with Michael on Sunday night, and he was the one who was able to recall the specific years when I had previously heard him play live.
